What a great video Score, thanks for posting.

Watching Orlando Pace in that video was just stunning. You forget just how dominating he was.

Here is a great article from 1996 SI on Pace.

I love this quote about All American and NFL first round pick Simeon Rice:

"This utter reliance on Pace took hold a year ago, when George was running for 1,927 yards en route to the Heisman. The signature game was against Illinois on Nov. 11, when George carried for 314 yards on 36 carries and Pace dominated All-America linebackers Simeon Rice and Kevin Hardy. "Simeon was a good challenge for me in my first year," says Pace. "Not too much of a challenge last year."

Here is another great quote from a different article underscoring Pace's dominance as a SOPHOMORE:

He didn't allow a sack last season, when he had 10 pancake blocks against Illinois, which had two of the top three picks in the NFL draft in defensive end Simeon Rice and linebacker Kevin Hardy.

Against Pace, neither Rice nor Hardy got a sniff of the Ohio State backfield. Combined, they had zero sacks and four tackles, none for losses

No doubt he should've won the Heisman in 1996 over Danny Weurfell and Jake Plummer, Troy Davis would've been debatable as he set the NCAA rushing record that year, but there is no question Pace was the best player in the country.

Coming from a Wolverine, we're the football equivalent of a formerly abused wife of a meth addict who just remarried the safe nice guy. We're just glad we have someone who's aware that it's a rivalry and that tackling on defense is integral. Baby steps.
